Boston, MA, October 27, 2026 —
Boston’s public crime journal recorded four aggravated assaults and four auto thefts during the 24-hour period ending Tuesday, October 27, 2026. The journal also listed one larceny from a vehicle and 20 other larcenies. No homicides or robberies were reported for the period.
The figures describe the categories and totals provided in the journal summary. The information available does not identify where the incidents occurred, when within the 24-hour period they were reported, or whether any cases involved arrests or ongoing investigations.
The summary also does not provide details about victims, suspects, property losses, or the circumstances of the reported incidents. It does not specify how the journal defines or groups “other larcenies,” or whether the figures could be revised as reports are updated. No comparison with earlier periods is included, so the totals alone do not establish whether reported crime rose or fell.
The journal’s listed counts are limited to the categories named in the summary: aggravated assaults, larcenies from vehicles, other larcenies, auto thefts, homicides and robberies. The absence of reported homicides and robberies refers to those two categories in this 24-hour account; the summary provides no further information about other types of incidents.
Additional case-level information, including locations and investigative status, was not provided in the trend summary.
